Balambala MP Abdikadir Aden addressing residents of Saka during a tour of his constituency over the weekend.

Abdikadir said endorsement of Shurie from Fafi constituency to contest in Balambala was meant to serve selfish interests of his ‘masters.’

The Balambala legislator who is also the ODM national organizing secretary declined to step down for Shurie when called upon by the elders after settling for the Jubilee candidate.

He said the power of the people will prevail come August 8.

“As far as I am concerned there is no contest in Balambala. He is a candidate who is being imposed on the people and on August 8 I will hand him a humiliating defeat that he will live to remember,” he said.

“You can take this to the bank that my opponent will not even garner 20 percent of the votes. I will beat him by more than 80 percent. The electorate is wise and is closely watching the development,” he added.
